Introducing a breakthrough wind energy system for home and business


The Honeywell Wind Turbine is a gearless, wind turbine that measures just 6 feet (1.8 m) in diameter, weighs 185 lbs (84 kgs) and produces on average 1500 kWh per year plus or minus depending on site location, height and wind speed in your area. The Honeywell Wind Turbines BTPS perimeter power system and unique design of multi-stage blades allows the system to react quickly to changes in wind speed. This ensures that the maximum wind energy is captured without the typical noise and vibration associated with traditional wind turbines. The Honeywell Wind Turbine has an increased operating span over traditional turbines with a start-up speed as low as 0.5 mph (0.2 m/s), with an auto shut off at 42 mph (18.8 m/s), traditional gearbox turbines require minimum wind speeds of 7.5 mph (3.5 m/s) to cut in and start generating power and shut down at 35 mph (15.7 m/s). The Honeywell Wind Turbine is designed to be installed by a licensed electrician wherever energy is consumed, turning homes and businesses from points of total consumption to distributed energy sources, in a cost effective and efficient manner.

Gearless Blade Power SystemTM the future of wind power


The innovative Blade Tip Power SystemTM (BTPS) is the patented technology created by WindTronicsTM. The Honeywell Wind Turbine utilizes a system of magnets and stators surrounding its outer ring capturing power at the blade tips where speed is greatest, practically eliminating mechanical resistance and drag. Rather than forcing the available wind to turn a generator, the perimeter power system becomes the generator by swiftly passing the blade tip magnets through the copper coil banks mounted onto the enclosed perimeter frame. The Blade Tip Power SystemTM addresses past constraints such as size, noise, vibration and output. The enclosed perimeter shrouds the system and is more distinguishable to wildlife. WindTronics proprietary systems are breaking traditional technological barriers across multiple markets, for homes and businesses, for both energy generation and energy recapture even in moderate winds.

Directional Fins
The Directional fins continuously guide the turbine for maximum wind exposure. The system starts turning at 0.5 mph (0.2 m/s), automatically shuts down in high winds (+42 mph [+18.8 m/s]) and is engineered for winds up to 140 mph (62.6 m/s).

building or the other can affect the output. Correction site assessment is important to enhance the performance of your turbine regardless of your product choice. Always seek the highest elevation and lowest obstruction field as possible (33 feet (10.0 m) minimum, the higher the better). You may advise your city, town or neighbors that youre installing a new generation wind turbine, but at 185 lbs (84 kgs), 6 feet (1.8 m), 35 dB, it may be not necessary. Were here to help you. An average annual wind rating of 10 mph (4.5 m/s) is recommended as a good minimum wind speed to keep in mind, off grid locations might consider less. The Honeywell Wind Turbine is designed for all environments from hot to cold

temperatures and from coastal locations to mountaintops. Electrical connection is very similar to a backup generator connected to the building or solar power to the grid. The system is designed to be installed by a licensed electrical contractor. Our Smart Swap warranty program allows contractors to replace components easily. WindTronicsTM has created a range of tools to assist in identifying proper site selection based on wind, rates and rebates. www.windknowledge.com Easy look up of US wind rates, electrical rates, rebates and incentives. www.windestimator.com Global wind statistic, predominant wind direction and wind strength analysis.

Wind Energy Recommendations and FAQs


The Honeywell Wind Turbine data for energy generation is measured against class 4 (DOE) wind speeds at steady state, (33 feet [10.0 m] high, unobstructed) however many factors will affect the output of the turbine at each location depending on placement. Your location can be affected by trees, terrain and obstructions such as buildings next door, even placement on one end of a
